Abstract
Mitochondrial F1 ATPase is inactivated by urea. Protection against urea inactivation is obtained when betaine, a methylamine found in different tissues, is added to the assay medium. Protection is also obtained upon the addition of either glycerol or dimethyl sulfoxide to the assay medium. The F, ATPase is rapidly inactivated at 4 °C. Inactivation by low temperature is prevented by betaine, glycerol and dimethyl sulfoxide. The protective effect of organic solvents and betaine against cold inactivation is prevented by urea.
